The night wind tingles around my ear,

And the night insects started to sing a lullaby for the world. My room is pretty far from the town's crowd but close to the trees around my garden, I wonder if everything is alright out there. It's hard to look at the street, but I know there's a crowd forming in a distance.

I can hear the faint sound of the police car along the faint gunshots which is really bothering me.

I turned my sight to the big fox that slept on the cushion next to the closet.

"Hey…Eli… can you hear that?" I asked her.

"Hear what?"

"The gunshots…" I said.

"Maybe…" she replied.

"Don't just say 'maybe'… sheesh…"

"Are you scared?"

"N-no way! It's too far away anyway…" I said.

She chuckled at me before she rested her head on the cushion.

"You just escaped from that, you shouldn't try to interfere…"

"I know…" I said.

We both were quiet for a moment….Until I decided to break the silence again for the sake of my curiosity.

"How much do you know about the Yakuza…?" I asked.

"As much as I know about myself…." She replied.

That sounded like she was a Yakuza or something…

"Did you used to be one…?" I asked again,

"No…but saying that I know as much as I know myself doesn't mean that I was a yakuza… it just that I know it as much as I know about myself…"

"Ah…."

I paused for a moment to think about it,

"I see…." I continued again.

"What do you want to know?" Eli asked.

"Plenty of things… like... I know that Niko is a Yakuza…. For some reason, my memory said that to me…. but…I'm not quite sure…. I think there's a lot of difference that occurred here…. Such as those men who attacked us a while back…"

"What about them?" she asked again gently,

"Will they get attacked back by those who protect Niko?"

"Maybe…."

"Why you gave me another maybe…." I sighed.

"Because, I wouldn't know about the future…." She replied.

"That's true… but… I was just asking if they will, from your opinion…"

"They will if they make a big deal about it, but don't you think it's not quite the right era to be barbaric?"

Not the right era…huh?

"People are growing up, through the time, through their own mind. They started to realize that violence may not solve everything, at the same time that's where they started to use their wits to solve their problems..."

"A diplomatic way, huh?" I asked.

"Trickery could also work… but let me tell you, the black and white of an action does not depend on the action itself, but from the purpose of it…"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Will you say, murder is bad?"

"Uhm…. yes?"

"What if that's the only choice for you to protect what belongs to you?"

"W-what do you mean…?" I asked again.

"I'm talking about rape…" she said.

"Oh…."

"Long ago before the present law existed, women were less likely to be protected. They were treated like an object for men to please their desire…"

That's horrible.

"…only those women who existed in a higher social rank were well protected, such as… the nobles…. The lady of the Yakuza clan…. or the government members…"

Heh—then I guess I can call myself lucky if I ever happened to exist in that era… I'll absolutely be a noble.

"….so that's why, in order to reach that level of protection, many of them are starting their own clan, or they simply charm the men who sits on his throne…"

"I don't get it… they don't want to be treated lowly, yet they do something that only low-mannered people do?"

"Do you think charming is only done by low mannered people?"

"Huh? Well, they could just show their talent instead of that…" I said.

"Two things you need to know, Maki… one… you don't have to offer your body to charm someone, second, not everyone is born with a realization to their talent…"

I still don't get it…

"… Can't they just climb up on their own?" I asked,

"Sadly, the world doesn't work that way…. Just like how our power is designed…"

A power of ….uh…what was it again, Wish maker?

"…we can grant whatever you wish, but… we cannot simply do it… you need to make a stronger offering to us…and also think more advanced than the present…because to tell you the truth, the present that exists right now is already formed from everyone's wishes that comes true…"

Now…

That she said that… I began to think…

"Then… are you also saying, that they who're currently in bad luck also came up from someone else's wish….?" I asked.

"Bad Luck, Good Luck, both are designed from a cause and wishes are the seed of a cause. It could wither when you are not working hard enough to achieve it, and it also could bloom beautifully when you work hard enough for it… sometimes, some people farm their fruits through the hard work of others, then someone takes a damage from the other's doing… they're all living in the same world after all…"

I still don't get it….

I started to think that maybe I've been listening to nonsense…

But… she looks so sure about it…

Maybe I really just don't get it…?

"The more seed you plant, the more work you need to do… it's better to know your limit than to fill your garden with withered wishes…." She continued again.

This is hard to understand…

"Eli… can I call it a day for now?" I asked.

"Of course…" she replied.

"Thanks for trying…. But I don't get it…." I replied again.

"I'll be willing to explain more tomorrow, but your brain is too tired, so yes… let's call it a day…." she said before I close my eyes and start to drift off into slumber.


This sound of the wind…

This color of the night sky…

And this sensation from the ground….

I feel so familiar with it…

But my memory is so blurry….

I can't actually recall anything but…

"Honoka!" I called out as I spotted a girl with ginger colored hair passed near me.

She turned at me and that was also the time when I see a familiar bear sitting right in front of her.

"Ah—Maki-chan…." she replied.

"Honoka!" I approached her,

"You were suddenly gone… what happened?" I asked.

She seems to be flustered,

"I…I don't know…. when you showed me that red box, I felt like my soul was being called here…." She replied.

That's strange…

"Can you go back to our world?" I asked.

She shook her head,

"The time when I was there, it was certain that I belonged with the humans, yet… this world kept calling my soul over and over…and then…I felt like I needed to keep introducing all these goods to everyone…"

I turn my sight to the crates, the bags and everything…

She does look like a merchant now….

"Ah—I know, Maki-chan… do you want to buy anything?" she asked.

"I feel like you've done that before…and that's how I got Eli with me…"

"Ohh…right..yes… Ayase Eli… the soul that was sold to many… her power is as much as the soul she took… a tricky one and a powerful one…"

That sounds scary now….

Who is she exactly?

"Tell me about her…." I said.

Honoka took out a book and then handed it to me,

"I don't like reading, so you do that yourself…" she said,

Huh? Alright…

Well…

It says….

Ayase Eli… A quarter Russian who moved in with her family, the last report about her says that she fell in love with a Shrine maiden… in desperation, she wished, she wanted to be able to live intimately with her love forever, no matter what it took for her to be in such a relationship.

Heh…. So…she was a human too? How could she end up being a Wish maker? Maybe I can try to look for Toujou Nozomi….?

Ah…here it is…

Toujou Nozomi…. A Shrine maiden who was charmed by the beauty of a foreigner, the last report about her says that she desperately wished to be able to control the time in order to save her love from a tragic fate.

Heh…. Why does this smell like an angst story? But then, this is Nozomi that we are currently talking about. It was probably reported by herself and exaggerated too much as a joke…

But…now I'm curious about ….

Sonoda Umi….A Samurai who wished to be able to fight for honor until the end of time.

That's it?

Nothing else?

Lame…

How about this…?

Minami Kotori… A girl who wants to grant wishes….

Uhm… now that's a lot more lame than the previous one.

What about….

Koizumi Hanayo… Rice-girl…

That's the lamest one I have ever read! What the hell?!

And..oh…now I found this too…

Kousaka Honoka…. A girl who wants to change the world….

This… somehow doesn't make any sense…

What is this book exactly?

And…I wonder if I can—

"Ah, Maki-chan, time is up…" Honoka said as she pulled the book off me.

"I need to sell my goods again…" she continued as she put her book back into her crate.

"I'll see you later again…" she waved at me cheerfully.

"W-wait!" I tried to stop her, yet she just smiled at me and disappeared.


Just when I thought I'll be waking up to a bright morning,

I realized that it's not even close to sunrise.

Sigh…

Now what to do, I don't feel like going back to sleep.

Maybe I can try to relax?

But…what time is this exactly?

I tried to check the clock next to my bed,

Its still 1:32 AM.

I suppose I really need to get back to sleep.

When I close my eyes to let myself fall asleep again, I hear a strange sound in the bathroom next to my room. It doesn't sound like water or anything—it's more like… I….I don't know…

What sound is this?

I better go check…

I reached the door,

It's not even closed—in fact, it's left wide open...

But I totally hear something inside.

Now that I think about it, I started to feel like I'm the protagonist in some kind of a horror story. The protagonist who gets into trouble after checking a strange sound.

Heh—putting that aside,

This sound doesn't sound like a harmful thing…

I tried to slowly sneak closer and peek inside….

Uhm….

I can see Nozomi…and Eli….

They both have animal ears and tail…

A fox and a Tanuki…

And they're….making out…

I know I shouldn't watch this…but….

Well…

No one knows…

Everyone is currently asleep, right?

Honestly, I'm very curious about this kind of thing… Why does everyone make a fuss about it? Why is it forbidden to show it off to the public? Why are people who are younger than 18 years old shouldn't look at it?

…what's so special about it…?

I keep my eyes on them, to their lips that press against each other… and to their hands that travel through each other's…..bare…skin….

Uhm….

Why am I getting so excited all so sudden?

I…I feel like I've seen something like this before…but I can't really recall it… plus, the feeling that I had...is so close to what I feel now.

"Ericchi…" I can hear Nozomi's sultry whisper,

"Shush… tone down your voice again, Maki can hear it…" Eli whispered back to her.

"Sorry…" Nozomi replied in smaller voice.

I can still hear it….

Maybe they mean if I was in the other room…

"Ericchi…. do you think this should be enough for us?"

"Not really…" Eli replied.

Nozomi chuckled,

"You just want me to get down on you…"

"Go then…" Eli smiled.

Nozomi chuckled again before she trailed down to Eli's groin….now I can see this… long todger…

This is weird…

Really weird….

But….

I don't know…

When Nozomi started to hold it and lick it with her tongue she gave out a flirtatious gaze towards Eli while…rubbing her hand on it…

It makes me feel really weird…

What am I actually watching right now?She... lick it with her tongue—giving out a flirtatious gaze toward Eli and...

…and why am I still here to watch it?

Maybe it's because I'm very curious about what will happen next?

That might be the case…

For like a few minutes, Nozomi keep doing what she has been doing until she stopped and Eli's thing…

Well… I can see how red it looks and how….it somehow looks bigger and longer—and also hard.

It looks disgusting…

"You know…Ericchi, I don't like this thing…." Nozomi said.

"Sorry…" Eli replied.

"It's not your fault, I know… I didn't expect this either…but I suppose it just can't be helped huh? I'm willing to be intimate with this kind of thing just because this is yours…and smells like you too…"

"For my case, part of me is glad that I could experience this…" Eli said.

"Are you not happy to feel my fingers inside you back then?"

"I'm happy… I was just saying that it feels different and new…"

Nozomi giggled,

"Then let's explore this while we can… we never know how it will be if we happen to repeat the time again…" she said as she began to brush her nose on Eli's thing.

Repeat...the time?

"Do you think it will go in the same way?" Eli sit down and slightly lean to the bathtub, allowing Nozomi to sit on her legs.

"Who knows, I might excel in time magic, but they are still the one to decide their own future… not us… we're just here to guide and grant their wishes… like parents…." Nozomi replied while she placed Eli's thing between her big breasts. She also started to press and rub it gently while sucking it with her mouth.

W-what is that even for?

I mean, that's not even how sexual reproduction happens in the science book.

Is that what people call as teasing?

"By the way, Nozomi… do you ever wonder why our ritual is made like this? Like… why do we even need to do this to synchronize our power?"

Nozomi remained quiet as she keeps herself busy.

"We could have… you know, held hands….or… hugged?" Eli continued again.

Nozomi released her mouth,

"The point of the ritual was actually only to make physical contact, those two ways you just said actually works, but… don't you think it's a lot more fun if we do this instead?"

"So it was just your idea, huh? I totally thought it was made this way…"

"Yup, I love spicing things up…" Nozomi continued again before she returned her mouth to the duty.

For some reason, I feel like blood is rushing all over my back—even though I'm just watching them…

It really feels so weird and….

Well…

The strange excitement….

It makes me feel like I want to do that too—but without the todger…

Sometimes I feel disgusted just by looking at its shape…

And those big breasts….Even though it does look somewhat fun to see, I feel like I prefer to grab smaller ones… like…

Niko's size..

E-Eh!?

Wh-What am I thinking?!

Sh-Sheesh!

I-it's not like Niko is the only one who has that size… There's also Rin….

Uh…

W-What the hell?!

What am I thinking again?!

I mean… Fine! I like small breast!

B-but…it's not that I want to touch it….

Even though maybe just a little…

N-No-no… wait..

What the heck?

F-F-Forget it! Me!

Why am I even thinking about this…

Uh-oh…. now I wonder what I missed…

Once again, I tried to look at the two again…

This time, Eli remained in the same position, while Nozomi was now sitting on top of her, moving her hips around…with Eli's todger stuck inside her… face looking at each other…

The two are smiling and giggling ever so softly as they move so slowly.

A minute later, Nozomi started to grope Eli's breast, snuggling her face against her cleavage and kissing her nipples gently, then she…. massaged it…

Again….

Why do I feel so excited…?

What's so good about that?

Is this some kind of magic?

A magic that can cause me to be excited all of a sudden…?

It's scary…

That I might not be able to stop myself from watching this…

Before I knew it, Eli grabs Nozomi's shoulder before she pushed her down to the floor and pressing her body against hers, kissing her neck so lustfully while Nozomi seems to be gripping her lover's body. I can't really see what's happening on their lower part since Eli's breast blocked my sight, but…. looking at how Nozomi looks in ecstasy…

Does it feel that good?

It probably does…

The sound of their flesh slowly rubbed against each other, the sound of their soft moans and the sound of their penetration….

It's somewhat making me feel really weird from my head until the tip of my toes… even though I don't know how it actually feels.

They started to change position again after a few minutes,

This time, Nozomi is facing to the same side as Eli while Eli stayed in her position. She leaned her back to Eli, letting her breast be groped and massaged so gently as her neck was being kissed aggressively. Now I can see how Eli's todger penetrated so deeply inside Nozomi's gash. Before they started to move again, Eli lift herself up—sitting on the bathtub and holding Nozomi's legs up high…

"I'll move a little faster, cover your mouth, ok?" Eli whispered,

Nozomi can only nod; her face is all red and seems to be really excited as well.

Then Eli started to slide her todger up and down—it almost looks like she was slamming it, with that bollock bouncing and hitting against her lower part….

Ah—no… this is….really lewd….

And weird….

Why can't I stop watching it?

She went faster and faster,

Nozomi's face also seems to look like she could scream if she wants to…

I…..I feel like I want to touch…to grip something as I see the length of her todger starting to leak something out of Nozomi's gash….

So much of them….like…it was being poured in…

Is that what people call as reaching an orgasm…?

Wow….

And…Nozomi just… placed down on the floor…

Then Eli rubbed the tip of her todger against Nozomi's gash before she shot out to her breast….relieving her todger, which no longer looked stiff…

Nozomi seems to be extremely exhausted...and at the same time, she looks satisfied…

"That's it for today… I'm running out of stamina…" she whispered.

Eli took a deep breath as she also lay down on the floor next to her.

"Hah—at least we didn't wake Maki up.. That girl's ears are almost as good as a bat ears…"

"Bat… huh? Bat and Maki-chan sounds good…"

"Yeah-huh… the only bat I can think of is the baseball bat she used to hit my balls…"

"She hit your ball with it?"

"Totally…" Eli sighed,

"I swear I feel it could break, but gladly it's not that fragile…" she continued.

Nozomi giggled,

"Now-now, my poor Ericchi… let's go clean up and get some rest. Without our power, we need to take at least a few hours meditation to regain our stamina…"

"True, let's do that…"

And I better go off to bed before they realize that I've been peeking on them.

I returned to my room,

Not knowing of what I've done to myself.

Now I can't even sleep.

I tried my best to close my eyes and all, but… the image of them doing it, keeps repeating in my head. Giving me a strange feeling that makes me want to touch myself…

Why did I even do that anyway…?

I mean…I know… I was curious…. and….

I just wanted to know….

Maybe this is why it shouldn't be shown in public?

Because… there is something about it that works like magic…

And I don't even know how to dispel this….

I can't even wish for it from Eli since… she is the one that I peeked at!

Damn it….

How can I get myself to stop thinking about it?

I don't know what to do!

And I really don't think I can talk about it with my parents…

What will they say if they know I took a peek at a couple having an intimacy?

They'll be set on fire and I'll be getting in trouble …

But… why is it a trouble if I tell them what I did?

I feel like…I'm getting scared over something unclear.

It's too unclear and I feel like maybe it's not going to be a problem if I ask….

B-But….

What if it turns out to be something foolish?

I mean…

It is indeed foolish…

Just maybe it could turn out to be something foolish enough to be laughed at…

I don't want them to laugh at me!

Hrgrgghhh…..

This is so…tormenting….

And..just now, I could hear someone laying down on the cushion…

Is that Eli?

When did she open the door? I didn't hear it…

I tried to pretend that I woke up from my slumber—by the sound of the cushion.

"Oh…Maki… sorry, did I wake you?" she asked—in her big fox form.

"Pretty much, did you get a bad night?" I asked back.

"Not really, I had good one… I just need to fix my position…." She replied.

"Is having a todger really that bothersome?" I asked.

"Todger…. Really Maki?" she chuckled,

"What's wrong with that?"

"No, it's just funny to know someone actually calls it a todger…"

"My mother used that slang to call it…." I said.

"Figured, knowing that you might be talking about it a lot as a doctor…" she replied.

"I don't want to be a doctor… I want to be a musician…" I said.

She smiled at me softly,

"I'm glad I'm your wish maker then, but let me tell you… that wish can't be fulfilled…."

"Why?"

"Because you don't own the right to claim it since you're still living under this family's rule… and you will be a doctor to continue your father's business…."

"Lame…" I said with a sigh,

"But have you ever wondered why your father is so fixated about you becoming a doctor…?"

"To save people? To satisfy his dreams? To please people around him? To continue his parent's job?" I replied in a sarcastic manner.

Eli giggled,

"Maki..Maki…. I don't know if you've heard me telling you this yet, but… you're still a kid after all…but that doesn't mean you're not ready to learn to think like an adult…"

"What do you mean by thinking like an adult, huh?" I asked.

"Thinking like an adult is a way of thinking that adult use to deal with their life… it's not always a wise choice though…"

"Then, are you telling me that growing up as an adult doesn't always mean to grow up wise?" I asked,

"Exactly, it is your choice to grow up wise or to grow up like an adult…"

I don't get it…

"Your advice is always difficult to understand…" I said.

"Just try to give it some thought…or ask someone to help you understand…"

"Can't I just ask you?" I asked.

Eli remained quiet,

That's a no….

Sigh…

At least now I feel tired and I should get to rest before the sun rises…


The next day at school,

I managed to sleep last night and wake up fresh…

I still feel a little strange around my body.

This school…that called as…Otonokizaka….is an all-girls school. There's no one here with a todger… except for Eli...

She should've been banned to go to school, but… come to think of it, does no one notice it?

Maybe Nozomi… but she is her wife…so of course she knows..

To begin with, is it even allowed for a married couple to go to school?

It's unlikely, right?

When I stepped into my class and assemble on my seat….

I can hear Rin's voice talking to Hanayo… and then she stopped….

And suddenly…

"Maki-chan!" She grabs my shoulder—which I quickly retort.

Urgh..Please don't touch me for now…I still feel strange…

"D-Don't touch me!" I shouted.

"Ehehe— Maki-chan is so stingy! What's wrong with surprising you-nya? We're friends, right?" she said.

"Sure we are… but doesn't mean you can do that to me…" I replied,

"Maki-chan.. you're so sensitive…" Hanayo said with a chuckle,

"N-No! That's not it! I just don't like being touched! That's it!" I yelled.

"That's what I call sensitive though…" Hanayo said.

"N-No…. well… I …I just don't want to be touched today!" I said again.

"So you're sensitive today…" Hanayo said.

Sigh….

"Let's drop this already… why are you two here anyway…" I asked.

"Hehe, we just want to know how you are… you look pale-nya…" Rin said.

"Me? Well… I… I just had a bad night's sleep…" I said.

"Oh…? Want me to massage you-nya?"

M-M-Massage?!

"N-No way!" I shouted.

"Trust me; I'm good at it-nya!" Rin said cheerfully.

"N-No…just…stay away from me…" I said.

"Hmm…I wonder if it's just your time of the month…?" Hanayo asked.

"No… it's not even the right date…. Just… please… don't touch me today…." I said.

"Alright… then please tell me when you need help, ok?" Hanayo said,

"Yup-yup! Just count on us-nya!" Rin said before Hanayo drags her away…

I'm glad Hanayo is understanding…but for some reason, I feel like she is not the right race right now…

I believe she was not human, right?

Or maybe it was just an illusion of my memory?

I don't remember…

Sigh…. Why is it so hard to get through that…

I know it was my fault to even try, but…still…

How could this be happening now?

"Oi…" a familiar voice suddenly came up from the door.

"Maki here? I need to talk with her…" the voice said…

Hmm…who owns this voice again….

N…Niko?

"N-Niko!?" I quickly turn my sight at her.

"Yo— I need to talk, come to the backyard…"

I joined her at the backyard,

She seemed to be hiding something behind her back.

When I reached in front of her… she handed me a lunch box…

"I…I know this is not much, but…. please take it…as an apology…." She said.

Huh? Apology….?

I don't remember her doing anything bad…

"I ran away from your home last night, but that was because I had something to do…" she said again.

"Oh…right… you were staying at my house last night…" I said.

She frowned at me all so sudden,

"W-what the heck?! You don't even remember I was staying there last night!?"

"Sorry, I was occupied by something else last night…so…I forgot…" I replied.

"The fuck?!" she started to cuss,

"You're an idiot! Don't you know that I was so uncomfortable last night because I've been thinking about that?!"

"That's your fault… not mine…" I said.

"Where's your god-damn thanks!? I was worried about your feelings, you moron!" she yelled.

"Why do you even care?! You're not even anyone to me!" I yelled back.

"I'm your damned senior—and I saved your ass yesterday! You could've been shot if I didn't push you down!" she yelled,

"And I wouldn't have even given a single care. They can shoot me if they want… I don't even care!" I yelled back.

"Idiot!" she yelled again.

"I don't need you to tell me that over and over!" I yelled.

"I'll tell you again and again— also, from now on, I'll start to teach you how you treat a person like me, got it?!"

"Why? I don't even care about you!"

"Shut up! Just say yes!" she yelled.

"I don't get it! Why are you even so persistent about it?!" I yelled again.

"I told you, shut up and say yes! You will also have to meet me after school, got it?!"

"You're troublesome! Besides, I'll have my car come pick me up after school!"

"You're going with a car from here to your home?! How spoiled are you?!"

"W-what?! What do you mean huh!?"

"You're spoiled! The school and your house is too close with each other, you don't even need a bike!"

"Are you expecting me to walk, huh!?"

"Of course! You have a pair of feet, use it!"

"You can't tell me what to do!" I yelled.

"Hmmph! You're weak!"

"W-what!?"

"I said, you're weak!"

"No way! I'm strong!" I said.

"Strong women walk on her own two feet, not using a car to move for just a few miles…"

"Fine! I'll tell them to not pick me up! Happy?!"

"And I bet you'll get a bazillion body-guards coming to pick you up—walking!"

"I don't even own a body-guard!"

"Liar! Even I own them, but I don't use their service for something useless!"

"…then I bet people are watching you all the time!" I yelled.

"No way! The only time they do is when I perform my magical and powerful niko-niko-smile, ok?"

"Pffffft….." I made a mocking face,

"That's gaudy and disgusting… can't believe you're still into that super idol lies…" I continued.

"Don't you dare doubt it!" she shouted.

It's somehow fun to tease her….

"Anyway, thanks for the lunch… I'll return the box to you later, ok?" I said.

"Huh…? Alright…" she replied.

"Bye…" I said before I ran off,

Hmm….

I feel like I'm still missing something…

Like…

I should've said something again…

Oh…

I stopped for a moment, then switching my sight to her again,

"Oi! Niko…." I said.

"What?" she replied.

"I'll see you after school, so you better show up, ok?"

"Of course, you idiot, you promised me too!"

Great! Now let's focus on studying!


Ok, next chapter should be by tonight. See you next chapter
